'node_map_lock' is a spinlock only used to protect calls to set_bit(),
clear_bit() and test_bit().

{set|clear}_bit() are already atomic and don't need this extra spinlock.
test_bit() only reads the bitmap for a given bit.

Remove this useless spinlock.

It looks to me like the calling code is racy
unless there is another lock in the callers.

The call chains are:
  ocfs2_recover_orphans()
    ocfs2_mark_recovering_orphan_dir()
      spin_lock(&osb->osb_lock);		<-- osb_lock spinlock
      ocfs2_node_map_set_bit()			<-- uses node_map_lock
      ...
      spin_unlock(&osb->osb_lock);
    ...
    ocfs2_clear_recovering_orphan_dir()
      ocfs2_node_map_clear_bit()		<-- uses node_map_lock
						    osb_lock is NOT taken


  ocfs2_check_orphan_recovery_state()
    spin_lock(&osb->osb_lock);			<-- osb_lock spinlock
    ...
    ocfs2_node_map_test_bit()			<-- uses node_map_lock
    ...
    spin_unlock(&osb->osb_lock);


So the code looks already protected by the 'osb_lock' spinlock, but I don't know this code and ocfs2_mark_recovering_orphan_dir() looks tricky to me. (so some other eyes are much welcome)

While map->map is protected, the result of test_bit()
is stale - so can't be used for much.


Anyway, should there be a locking issue, it is there with or without my patch, right?

test_bit() is NOT documented as an atomic function. However, I can't see
how it could return a wrong result here.

So review with care. There is maybe something I don't think about that is
lurking here.
